26" HBAR if they confirm they really can do R+2; otherwise 24"
1:7 twist
Whichever rifling they think is faster (they already say that one isn't going to be more accurate than the other); if they don't get the joke, whichever rifling fits into their production schedule faster
It'll be hand lapped 416R for about $310 shipped with their "early black Friday sale" + whatever they charge me for the extended gas system.
So while I wait, even though I have a perfectly workable lower receiver on the rifle its going on, these barrels are something of a Unicorn. So this becomes so tempting in my twisted little mind......

Lookoing foward to this build!
From my testing so far, I'm blown away a factory hasn't picked this cartridge up yet..
In a 20" barrel in getting 2850fps with the 95gr TMK over a charge of CFE223.
The 26" is going to give you some damn impressive performance.
I'm looking at ARCOMP to do some load dev with next. It's nice because 6mmAR uses the same powders as the Grendel.
